Three men are hiking
through the woods, and
they come to a raging
river. The water is so deep
and so fast that it seems
impossible to cross.
|
|
|
The first man offers a prayer, "Please, Lord, give me the
strength to cross this river." The Lord decides that this
is a reasonable request. A cloud settles over the man, and
when it lifts, he is taller, with legs like tree trunks and
massive arms. He struggles to cross the river, and after
4 hours, he makes it.

The second man offers a prayer, "Please, Lord, give me
the strength and ability to cross this river." The Lord
decides this is a reasonable request; a cloud settles
over the man, and when it lifts, he has massive arms, and
there is a rowboat next to him. He struggles across the
river, and after 3 hours, he makes it across.
|
|
|
The third man offers a prayer,
"Please, Lord, give me the strength,
ability and wisdom to cross this river."

The Lord decides this is a reasonable request; a cloud
settles around the man, and when it lifts, he has been
changed into a woman. She looks at a map, walks 100
yards downstream, and crosses the bridge!!
